Peter Andre has shared a glimpse of his upcoming reggae song from his new album, in which he sings about wanting a ‘girl from the island’.

Earlier this year, the singer, 52, faced backlash for his role in the ‘profoundly disrespectful’ Jafaican movie which sees him sporting dreadlocks and adopting a Jamaican accent.

However, Peter brushed aside the controversy as he ploughed on with his music career, giving fans a taste of his new island tune.

In a clip shared to his Instagram on Monday, a shirtless Peter can be seen miming along to the rhythmic song.

The video sees the father-of-five in a tropical location, with scenes cutting to different spots as Peter sings different parts of the song.

Lyrics for the catchy song include: ‘Said I wanna girl, wanna girl, wanna girl from the island. We pull another drink and move till the sun’s up’, though it’s not specified in the clip which island he is referring to.

Captioning his post, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker penned: ‘If summer was a song, this would be it. Heatwave incoming… new album dropping soon.’ 

Fans were quick to take to the comments to gush about Peter’s new tune, with many loving what they heard.

While Peter’s son Junior, 20, commented: ‘Yes dad’, adding plenty of fire emojs. 

Back in May, Peter defended his decision to star in ‘profoundly disrespectful’ movie Jafaican, as he recalled the racial abuse he experienced as a child growing up in Australia.

The singer was born in London to Greek-Cypriot parents before emigrating Down Under aged six.

And after receiving backlash over his new Jafaican film trailer, which saw him wear dreadlocks and adopt a Jamaican accent, Peter opened up on what it felt like to be at the centre of racial abuse.

Peter said he was once tied to a fence by blue-eyed, blonde-haired schoolkids throwing stones at his head because of his darker skin tone. 

He told The Sun: ‘I remember the bullying and the racism we suffered as kids in Australia and how tough that was.

‘But it gave me a deep understanding of what’s truly offensive and what’s not. If someone dressed up with a curly wig and a big nose, doing a Greek accent, I’d probably laugh – it depends on the intention. 

‘But if someone said “I hate you Greeks” or made hateful comments about our skin, that’s where the line is. That’s racism.’

Peter stars as Gary Buckle in the crime-comedy, a con artist pretending to be a Jamaican gangster. 

Gary, also known as Gazza, must master Jamaican culture in 21 days in order to execute a fraud in London and Jamaica and earn the £35,000 (AUD $72,321) he needs to pay for his grandmother’s care.

Ahead of the film’s release, the trailer showed Peter wearing dreadlocks and putting on a Jamaican accent – something which fans called ‘profoundly disrespectful’. 

The trailer made fans question: ‘Did I wake up in 1998?!’

The controversial trailer for Jafaican saw the Australian star donning a dreadlock wig before putting on a Jamaican accent, and fans did not react well to the project 

‘Peter Andre starring as the lead character of a film called JAFAICAN where he’s pretending to be a Jamaican and wearing a dreadlock wig is not something I was expecting to see in the year of our Lord 2025 but here we are…’ another said. 

‘There’s a movie coming out with Peter Andre in a dreadlock wig pretending to be Jamaican. Is this really what we’re doing in 2025?’ one more chimed in. 

‘Why on earth has YouTube just recommended me a trailer for a film starring Peter Andre about a man posing as a fake Jamaican? Did I wake up in 1998?’

Responding to the backlash over his new role, Peter insisted the film is about ‘storying telling and paying homage, not mockery’.

Adding he ‘understands some people can genuinely feel offended’, he admitted it was never the movie’s intention.

‘We did our research, we worked with Jamaican talent, and we wanted to tell a story with heart’, he added.
